Is This What It Feels Like to Feel Like This? - The Wombats

Nobody here knocking at my door The sound of silence I can't take anymore Nobody ringing my telephone now Oh, how I miss such a beautiful sound And I don't even know how I survive I won't make it to the shore without your light No, I don't even know if I'm alive Oh, oh, oh without you now This is what it feels like Nothing to hold but the memories and frames Oh, they remind me of the battle I face Without your love, without you, I drown Somebody save me, I'm going down And I don't even know how I survive I won't make it to the shore without your light No, I don't even know if I'm alive Oh, oh, oh without you now This is what it feels like And I don't even know how I survive I won't make it down the road with one headlight No I don't even know if I'm alive Oh, oh, oh without you now This is what it feels like

And crawling down the street used to be bright And I hoped to god The cracks would shed some light And further into this old story town Now you'd think that I could tell you more but there's none To tell you what I would do It turn the table But I don't wanna turn to what you are becoming And I see All you've done for me If you'd told me this would end as soon as it all started I would've found the rest of me But I guess I'm just not there I would, I wou-wou-would, ooh I would I would've found it quicker but you came In a foreign way I'm thankful for the days When you played with my heart, all the pain Built up in my lungs halfway And now, I know the words that left our names I've gotta tell you what I would do It turn the table But I don't wanna turn to what you are becoming And I see All you've done for me If you'd told me this would end as soon as it all started I would've found the rest of me But I guess I'm just not there Give your heart but keep your head Give your heart but keep your head Give your heart but keep your head Give your heart but keep your head up, now Give your heart but keep your head Give your heart but keep your head up, now Give your heart but keep your head Give your heart but keep your head I've gotta tell you what I would do It turn the table But I don't wanna turn to what you are becoming And I see All you've done for me If you'd told me this would end as soon as it all started I would've found the rest of me But I guess I'm just not there

Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Bones shake, the cold starts to kick in Getting harder to breathe again Any longer, I'll need a friend Trying to keep my composure, but All I do is fall on the ground So much noise, I don't hear a sound And all of the words once in me They slowly start to realize That the room filled up with teardrops from my eyes Oh, I feel my body shaking No hope is being kept alive The fear of losin' more than just my mind Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh I can't breathe I can't sleep And what is this feeling I feel inside of me? I can't breathe I can't sleep And what is this feeling I feel inside of me? I can't breathe (Ooh, ooh-ooh) I can't sleep And what is this feeling I feel inside of me? (Ooh, ooh-ooh) I can't breathe (Ooh, ooh-ooh) I can't sleep And what is this feeling I feel inside of me?

It's tough to stay attractive baby With your tongue upsailing down my neck It's a bullet-proof offer and I can't accept It's tough to maintain focus baby Now all my elephants are in the room We crave the fiction when we need the truth You need to find a different boy's heart to chew And all these emoticons and words Try to make it better but they only make it worse It's tough to feign indifference baby Now I'm spending all the money I have Trying to impress you is kinda driving me mad And I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky I blame what happened everytime we're under neon lights We crave the tension in a room with a view You need to find a different boy's heart to chew And all these emoticons and words Try to make it better but they only make it worse And all these emoticons and words Fail to make it better their attempts just make it worse It's everything I want and nothing I can keep And behind these metaphors I want you literally We crave the fiction when we need the truth You need to find a different boy's heart to chew And all these emoticons and words Try to make it better but they only make it worse But I like it here so much I might stay The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place

I had no cares in the 1990's I knew of no downfalls Though war was breaking out all around me My concerns were with prank calls She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek Right in front of the older kids When our self belief, our self belief Wasn't scarred by the modern itch 'Cause now it feels like We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 So hard to beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996 We were cloning sheep in the 1990's We were building telescopes And sugar filled the whole of my body As I urged it on to grow I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek Just to impress the older kids But my self belief, my self belief Wasn't lost in the modern glitch 'Cause now it feels like We kiss with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Needing fairground rides just to spark her smile There's little here to miss Bring back 1996 Bring back 1996 Stop talking, stop talking (ah-ah-ah-ah) I need a lover, not a friend tonight I'm leaving, I'm leaving (ah-ah-ah-ah) I'm not cut out for the modern life I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996

Too much, too much I worry, I worry too much Too much, too much I worry, I worry too much Multiples of three keep me warm, keep me stable Six candles on a wall with just one lit Flick a switch, lick a key, paint a chair on a table Superstition's a wasp at your picnic I'll say it again but without feeling I'll get what I think if I keep on thinking About all the other lovers that fell down the stairs It's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there Too much, too much I worry, I worry too much Too much, too much I worry, I worry too much Bang my head on a wall that I built in the future I let the smallest of things ruin the day I'm the voicemail that you could've, should've checked sooner I'm the only obstruction in the way I'll say it again but without feeling I'll get what I think if I keep on thinking About all the other lovers that fell down the stairs It's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there It's not, it's not, it's not paranoia if it's really there Too much, too much I worry, I worry too much Too much, too much I worry, I worry too much

It's all kicking off again Words buzz but certainly don't sink in The rain hits the tiles on the bathroom floor Hissing little rattlesnake All fired up and ultimately afraid So slam the door Cos baby when you talk like that The pain moves from my chest to my lower back Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I thought we could communicate Perhaps do a few things the old fashioned way Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I'm praying for a soft exit Good neighbours who occasionally baby sit Then double-cross behind the scenes Yes, okay, maybe, we're probably not To end up, but know we go through quite a lot It needs to stop Cos baby when you talk like that The pain moves from my chest to my lower back Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I thought we could communicate Perhaps do a few things the old fashioned way Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea? I punch my head, don't know what you want from me It's a fucked up world so let's talk about it, please They wanna make sketch shows about my anxiety dreams Are we trying to sell the ocean to the sea?

I could use some peer pressure A little human error A change in attitude You're so well put together Cold beer in temperate weather A beach with jungle views And tell me, sugar Am I close to getting close? Is there something I need to know? Pull the trigger And pull me back from the edge Pull me out of my head She is wildfire She is wildfire She is wildfire I could live in here forever A place beyond the pleasure A place beyond the high This cake wears a new icing I can feel the GABA rising And tell me, sugar Am I close to getting close?
